For the Infused Simple Syrup:
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves whole
For the Mojito:
- 1 lime
- 24 whole mint leaves no stems
- 4 cherries pitted and halved
- 6 oz white rum
- Club soda to top off
Instructions
- Do ahead:Over medium heat, add sugar and water in a small pot. Bring to a boil. Add the 1 cup mint leaves and boil 1 minute. Remove from heat and let sit 30 minutes to infuse. Strain infused syrup into a container and set aside. (Any leftover syrup can be stored in the fridge for future use.)
- Cut the lime into quarters.
- Squeeze the juice of two lime quarters into a highball glass, adding the squeezed lime into the glass as well.
- Add half of the mint leaves and cherries into the glass and muddle together, taking care to only bruise the mint leaves and not crush them.
- Fill each glass with ice to the top. Add 3 oz white rum and 2 oz of the infused syrup to each glass. Top each glass with club soda, gently stir, and serve immediately.
